I love my almond nails, but as a short nail girl through and through, I sometimes feel limited by the smaller canvas—there’s not always a ton of room for intricate designs. So I set out to find the best manicures for short almond nails that subtly elongate the shape while still leaving space to play with fun nail trends and eye-catching accents.

From glossy, textured looks to holiday-ready designs, the almond silhouette proves to be one of the most versatile manicure canvases. After hours of scrolling through celebrity nail artists' feeds and top salon looks, I pulled together all the short almond nail ideas you’ll want to add to your inspo board ASAP.

Ahead, the 20 best short almond nail designs, according to a manicure-obsessed beauty editor.
